GentleSight — Sight Words

GentleSight helps young children (ages 3-8) learn their first sight words through calm, patient games with no timers, no scores, no ads and no pressure.

Every interaction is gentle and predictable. Wrong answers get a soft visual cue — never a buzzer, never "wrong" text. Correct answers are celebrated with cheerful animations that follow a comforting, repeating pattern.

6 DIFFERENT WAYS TO LEARN — ALL FREE
- Hear & Match: See and hear a word, then match it by sound (Tier 1)
- Listen & Find: Hear a word and find it among four choices (Tier 2)
- Copy the Word: Build words letter by letter with the model word visible (Tier 3)
- Spelling: Spell the word from memory — audio cue only, no reference (Tier 4)
- Word Search: Find the word hidden in a letter grid (Tier 5)
- Sentences: Fill in the blank — comprehension in context (Tier 6, capstone)

Each game teaches a different skill on a research-aligned cognitive ladder — from recognition (Tier 1) to reading comprehension (Tier 6). Children progress at their own pace.
